@@VexDeePhilosophs Yeah, I hate that after 2018 they said "We need to tone down on reworks and instead focus on new champs from now on.", I'd prefer a rework to a new champ any day.
@@Karanthaneos I mean, he is just a cult leader that can only summon little voidlings and wanders around a large desert, so yeah, I think we still have time.
@@PNNH696 didn't he opened the gate for both kog'maw and cho'gath? At least that's what I remember. Eh, I guess since he's in a cult he's going to get a few cool tribe cards for Legends of Runeterra
@@Karanthaneos Malzahar didn't do anything of that sort. Kog'maw itself manifested in Icathia and was drawn to Malzahar, while Cho'gath is just a void being that manifested (its bio is just 2 short paragraphs). And have Cho'gath and Kog'maw done anything worthwhile?
@@PNNH696 yeah the void story is sorta frozen. This year is going to be Viego's so I don't expect it to move that much. Also on Wild Rift they're putting Kai'sa as the only void related champion, so there goes representation for the voidborn.
Ha! Hahahaha Tho... I wonder what a burning bulge would look like on brand Why am I asking this,I think his the only male champion that has a bulge on their splash art,everyone's just wearing very tight underwear 😆
Brand is one of my favorite champions and I love what Riot did with his lore.I just wish his model wasn't so crusty.His kit doesnt need a rework just his model.
Do some of you know firepunch? What if brand would have still some sort of consciousness because he is forever burning, but is also immortal. The eternal burning flames keep him awake because of the constant pain and he is just waiting till the end of time with no cure whatsoever.
he looks like an MMO fire elemental that guards a bandit keep area who roughly sits at level 57 and his only purpose is to assblast any newbies that get too close
He would have been more interesting of he had been constantly wronged and tortured by the world in different ways. Then been taken on as an apprentice or something by ryze to then be overwhelmed by the power of the world runes. Seizing thier power to torch the world that had mistreated him for so long into oblivion. idk just something more interesting. i love the deranged madmen that you can sort of sympathize with
I'm curious if you'll ever grade individual skins? I think this could help your shorts and you can tell us if the skin improves or is worse than the champion's base design. For an example, you've already said Queen Ashe is better than base Ashe.
It sucks that he has such a plane design because he has some of the greatest lore riot ever created. And sadly mone of it shows through his design or voice lines. Poor Kegan deserves better.
Should have leaned on the pirate theme instead of retconing it. He makes demon noises when using abilities but makes pirate puns and complains about burning the ship or water evaporating when running around.
Eh, I'd disagree with "Utterly Bland" being associated with the grade of "D". I'd reserve D's for character designs that have outright problems, but aren't as bad as Ashe or Kai'sa, keep C's for "Bland, I don't hate it but blah." and B's for "It's bland... but okay." But yeah, League of Legends Brand is a rather bland character design. Now, the skins that are based on him... that's where things get interesting. If this series ends up being worth your time and effort, and something to continue in the future, it might be an interesting idea to do a future series of shorts where you look at the base characters from the point of view of "Where can this concept go?", because the concept of "Fire Mage" leads to some of the most interesting Skins out there.
He seriously needs a visual and voice update. He still has the word "summoner" in his lines :(
Cho'Gath, too.
They honestly should stop making champions and focus on re works :(( but idk how things function in there...
Yeah there are still champions like MF and Nidalee that use the summoner word
@@VexDeePhilosophs Yeah, I hate that after 2018 they said "We need to tone down on reworks and instead focus on new champs from now on.", I'd prefer a rework to a new champ any day.
@@vojtav6636 To be fair they still have summoner spells
"throws lots of fire all around"
I see Necrit ghostwrote this one
:D
I thought the same thing XD
Infernal Brand when
@@nidhogg8446 *you are asking for too much.*
Brand literally looks like a generic enemy you'd find in any RPG
Thanks for reminding me he exist.
He appeared in most of my games until like 2 weeks and I legit forgot about his existence.
Lucky you....
Ah yes, a corrupted being full of destructive powers that has the same threat level as Morderkaiser. And where is he now, Riot? What is he doing now?
Have you heard about MALZAHAR? Opening void portals through the world? Nah, he's just wandering through the desert, we still got time

Water proof leather pfft, I prefer fireproof. Or maybe riot is just scared showing brand's hot package 🤔😏🤔
We wont even notice his thing dangling around as he walks around ingame 🤣
Show us the charred D, you cowards!
Ha! Hahahaha
Tho...
I wonder what a burning bulge would look like on brand
Why am I asking this,I think his the only male champion that has a bulge on their splash art,everyone's just wearing very tight underwear 😆
Not to mention the guy has belts like an early 2000's anime character
No please! I love this silly over design belt trend and I will protect it at all cost!
Brand is one of my favorite champions and I love what Riot did with his lore.I just wish his model wasn't so crusty.His kit doesnt need a rework just his model.
theres a reason rav just calls him the burning man
I do love the redesign that subjectivity did for him, it made him feel like the threat he should be!
This isn't a hot take because it's surprising or goes against conventional wisdom. It's hot because someone set it on fire out of spite.
Fun fact his pants haven't burned yet because he's a very honest person and thus his pants are not on fire
pyke and MAAAANtheon next plz ty
Just wanted to say I’m always pleasantly surprised to hear when Pentakill music is used. Love to hear it
I like the pentakill beckround
Which particular song of theirs is it that’s playing in the background?
Do some of you know firepunch? What if brand would have still some sort of consciousness because he is forever burning, but is also immortal.

Short videos for the RUclips Gods
His in game model is surprisingly polished for such an old champion. Slap some high quality flame textures and he would look like he was released now.
"Like a lot of old champions, he was designed to embody an archetype rather than challenge it."
ZP in the background: *YEEEEEAAAH!!*
One of the best titles I've seen
yo pentakill background music pog
That title, damn skyen, there are kids watching these!!
he looks like an MMO fire elemental that guards a bandit keep area who roughly sits at level 57 and his only purpose is to assblast any newbies that get too close
I simply love the pun in the title. The song in the background is kinda *fire*, too
the hottest of takes
would love some hot takes on skin lines as well TB!
He would have been more interesting of he had been constantly wronged and tortured by the world in different ways. Then been taken on as an apprentice or something by ryze to then be overwhelmed by the power of the world runes. Seizing thier power to torch the world that had mistreated him for so long into oblivion.

What song is playing in the background if you know?
@@phiphi2209 DeathFire Grasp from the Smite and Ignite album
Surprisingly the lava texture on his model isn't so bad considering how old he is
I'm surprised you didn't give him an F. . . for fire
No one:
Brand's belts:
*E*
*E*
*E*
Got em!
When I first saw Brand I thought he was Bolvar Fordragon from the WOTLK World of Warcraft expansion.
Redesign suggestion. Make him look more like a man on fire, not made of fire. Like maybe almost in pain from the fire
Edit: typo
I liked the phone fit..
I mean, considering how old he is, he looks fire
I’d be down if they made Brand look more like an Ifrit than the gaunt fire zombie he is currently.
It sucks that he has such a plane design because he has some of the greatest lore riot ever created. And sadly mone of it shows through his design or voice lines. Poor Kegan deserves better.
Wow the... _burn_
Should have leaned on the pirate theme instead of retconing it. He makes demon noises when using abilities but makes pirate puns and complains about burning the ship or water evaporating when running around.
When I play Brand I like to flame the whole game.
Will you be doing this for every champion? Cuz i rlly like these damn
Pls do warwick
D for BLAN(D)
Wait, wasn’t he the demon Lee Sin summoned when he originally took his summoners test in the old lore?
Huh, brand has a mohawk
Did you just roast a fire demon? 🥵🔥
tought but necessary criticism
My boy deserves better from Riot. A VU and some lore would be enough, no need to turn him OP
This is hottest take by far. Cause he's on fire and fire is hot
Would you do one on Tahm Kench Please
¿But what if its pants were actually burnt? That would be a B for me
man atleast Blitzcrank evokes a feeling when I look at it, Brand is just, nothing. F for the blandness.
Will you do short videos like these for skin lines?
Ah what's that music at the end?
Hey TB what are your thoughts on the wild rift version of Vayne's heart seeker skin.
brands pants > demacian armor
You are proud of that title aren't you?
Fun fact: Brand means burn in African.
Am I the onlyone seeing the E’s at his pants?
Is it true that some lol champions isn't updated since 2010
But why 6 belts tho?
What can someone do to improve this?
The only reason why brand have that pants it's because PG
Brand design HOT take hahaha
*hot* take
HOT take

How he still wearing his pants.
Desighn HOT take i see what you did there
Design*
Hot take alright
Nevermind someone already made that joke
Design "hot" take. Heh heh heh ..... heh..
Also...why 3 belts in his thighs? What is the goal here?
Man, you're just jealous of how hot he is.
